The comparison of the phase transformations going on due to high energy ball milling (HEBM) and produced by pressure-less Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS developed by EOS company) was carried out, by using an α-Fe, Ni and Cu3P powder mixture. It could be shown by X-ray diffractograms (XRD) of the two type of products, that by mechanical alloying a similar phase transformation occurs due to solid state reactions between the metal partners as in the case of laser sintering, in a given range of laser scanning speed in a laboratory laser equipment. According to the XRD evaluation the same metastable, γ-steel like phases were formed.

AbstractMultilayer films, consisting of alternating layers of crystalline Ni and Ti, have been prepared by RF sputter deposition over a range of modulation wavelengths corresponding to an overall composition of Ni50Ti50. These films have been characterized by xray diffraction and Rutherford backscattering measurements. The solid-state transformation by interdiffusional mixing of the individual layers has been directly studied by differential scanning calorimetry and correlated with structural measurements. These measurements indicate that the solid-state reaction of Ni and Ti multilayers proceeds through the formation of a metastable solid solution of Ti in Ni followed by the formation of intermetallic equilibrium compounds. No direct calorimetric or structural evidence for the formation of an amorphous Ni-Ti phase has been found in these samples.

The material in powder state has long been used by selective laser sintering (SLS) for making rapid prototyping (RP) parts. A new approach to fabricate smoother surface roughness RP parts of ceramic material from slurry-sate has been developed in this study. The silica slurry was successfully laser-gelling in a self-developed laser sintering equipment. In order to overcome the insufficient bonding strength between layers, a strategy is proposed to generate ceramic parts from a single line, a single layer, to multi-layers of gelled cramic in this paper. It is found that when the overlap of each single line is 25% and the over-gel between layers is 30%, stronger and more accurate dimensional parts can be obtained under a laser power of 15W, a laser scanning speed of 250 mm/s, and a layer thickness of 0.1 mm. The 55:45 wt. % of the proportion between the silica powder and silica solution results in suitable viscosity of the ceramic slurries without precipitation. Furthermore, the effects of process parameters for the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness of the gelled parts are investigated and appropriate parameters are obtained.

AbstractMelting, solidification and solid-state transformation of the intermetallic Ni3Sn compound were investigated in situ using synchrotron high-energy X-ray diffraction. It was observed that the compound undergoes a hexagonal to cubic transition before melting. In solidification, a disordered cubic phase crystallizes from the liquid at a large undercooling but it is reordered prior to bulk solidification. In melting and solidification, forced or natural flows are active bringing about significant changes of crystal orientations. These in situ observations provided insights into phase transformations of Ni3Sn at elevated temperatures and their roles in formation of metastable microstructure consisting of coarse grains and subgrains.

Abstract Selective laser sintering/melting (SLS/SLM) is a rapid prototyping technique that utilizes a high-energy laser beam to bind powder particles together for solid part fabrication. Due to the presence of several factors, microstructure-based material modeling can be of significant importance for optimizing processing parameters. To date, most researchers have put their efforts on simulating the microstructure of SLM-processed component, while few attentions have been paid to investigate the evolving of microstructure during SLS. In this work, a phase-field model is proposed to simulate the microstructure evolution during the solid-state SLS process. The microstructure evolution as affected by the laser power and scanning velocity are studied. It is found that the width of sintering neck increases with the increase of laser power and the decrease of laser scanning velocity. The modeling predictions are compared with the experimental data regarding the neck width between adjacent particles. In addition, it is demonstrated that this model is capable of carrying out large-scale simulations.

For many years amorphous metallic alloys have been prepared by rapid quenching techniques such as vapor condensation or melt quenching. Recently, solid-state reactions have shown to be an alternative for synthesizing amorphous metallic alloys. While solid-state amorphization by ball milling and high energy particle irradiation have been investigated extensively, the growth of amorphous phase by cold-rolling has been limited. This paper presents a morphological and structural study of amorphization of Cu and Ti foils by rolling.Samples of high purity Cu (99.999%) and Ti (99.99%) foils with a thickness of 0.025 mm were used as starting materials. These thin foils were cut to 5 cm (w) × 10 cm (1), and the surface was cleaned with acetone. A total of twenty alternatively stacked Cu and Ti foils were then rolled. Composite layers following each rolling pass were cleaned with acetone, cut into half and stacked together, and then rolled again.
